NFL Franchises (18) Arizona Cardinals

What hardly anyone knows that the Cardinals are the oldest franchise in the NFL. Until they are, but ever landed in the desert, they had to change of place, let droughts and much, much ridicule go through.

In a neighborhood of Chicago in 1898, Morgan atletic club, an amateur ball sports club was formed. Since 1901 it is called "Cardinals". Reason: The amateurs were given a jersey kit donated. However, that was not brown (maroon), but cardinal. Therefore, "Cardinals."

It was soon a pro team in the early years had problems to find suitable opponents, which is why the "pros", also because of illness series and world wars actually were only part-time professionals. Up until the 20s, when they entered the very young NFL. Pro football at the time, about as significant as the East Frisian Frauenboßelmeisterschaft. After all: 1925, won by league decree the title, the first of two in the club's history.

The Cardinals were followed by a mocked loser team that could reap only the end of the 40 successes: the once winning the title and Final defeat against the Eagles, but in the 50s it was so bad that the newspapers do not even reported on the team and been run in poor viewer ratings were. The owner Bidwell family felt compelled to emigrate to the West.

"Gene West" means: They stayed at the gateway to the West hang. In St Louis. There was unfortunately already a baseball team called the St. Louis Cardinals (it is by the way still give) and yet there was no renaming. Surprising that it is precisely in America no action on the part of one or the other team was that claimed the sole right to a name for themselves.

Anyhow, the Cardinals were indeed a better team and much preferred it to Chicago, but many playoffs did not exist. In the 70s, but they made ​​a name for himself as a Cardiac Cardinals - a team that stood for spectacular concise and exciting games - with an output times, sometimes contra. The Contra came but always before the Super Bowl.

If you do not win, you Americans viewed the country sooner or later to none. So also in St. Louis. 1988 continued Bidwell after the 28-year stopover in St. Louis his journey westward away and moved on to Phoenix, Arizona.

Whether as Phoenix Cardinals or a few years later as Arizona Cardinals: Man standing on the lowlands of the NFL. Whether to remain in the NFC East and the resulting high travel expenses were complicit? Although there were attractive opponents (Dallas, Washington, Philadelphia), but the travel expenses, baby. Devastating also: The own market and the second target market New Mexico were decried as Cowboys territory. Their own stadium was mostly three-quarters empty row: No transfers in Phoenix home market, which also means, of course: No sow knows that you exist at all.

No spectators, no achievements. It stood for sadness. Only the local hero QB Jake Plummer caused some amusement and led Arizona in 1998/99 with its spectacular style of play time in the playoffs, where - please hold - (!) (!) (!) The Cowboys away into the ground played were. You can imagine how horrible it is a franchise, if you need to stand for years as one wonderful day.

Also, the 2000s began bland, and 2004 WR Larry Fitzgerald was a real core drafted on which was build. A year later came the applicable even as consumed QB Kurt Warner, who had once sensational the Rams to the title ge-quarter bakes (or so) and only two concussions was removed from the End of career, a year later the Savior: QB Matt Leinart.

Sarah Palin took office nearly two years ago, the state of Alaska has routinely bought commercial airline tickets for her daughters when they travel with her, a practice that raises questions about the governors claim to being a fiscal conservative.
